The Commission recognises the tremendous efforts and commitment of the regional team of Education Statisticians who have produced this Digest. The Commission thanks UNICEF for its continued support towards the compilation and dissemination of the Digest. Together with the Member States' Ministries of Education, we share a common mandate to keep improving education data processes in the region. Let us continue working to achieve the vision of a data culture in the education sector that guides meaningful interventions for our economic and social advancement.
